ghetto oil catch can/breather
#1
i made a pretty decent breather for my car today. the basic concept was that i put a fuel filter inline with the breather hose (which then connects to my intake ahead of the TB) to catch any oil vapor. i've seen pics of it done to other cars and it works, although not as well as a $200 oil catch can. overall i spent like 10 bucks. here's what i used:

clear fuel filter from autozone - 3 bucks
clear pvc tubing from homo depot - 5 bucks
some collars (the kind you screw to tighten) from hd - 2 bucks

i kept the rubber hose that comes straight off the valve cover, since it fit the fuel filter fine. so i put a collar over the rubber tube, and tightened it to the fuel filter. then, for the filter-to-intake connection, i cut a piece of clear pvc and connected that up with collars. and la-dee-freakin-da, we have a ghetto breather.

i realize this thread is worthless without pics, so i'll have em up tommorow
